Find 15% of 15% of 15% of 500. How does this compare to finding 45% of 500

2 answers:

6 0

500* (15/100)* (15/100)* (15/100)= 1.6875

500* (45/100)= 225

Therefore, the process of finding 45% of 500 does not have anything to do with the process of finding 15% of 155 of 15% of 500~

15% of 15% of 15% of 500 = 1.6875
45% of 500 = 225

If you want to find 15% of 15% of 15% of 500 then you first have to multiply,
0.15 x 0.15 = 0.0225
then you have to multiply 0.0225 times .15 AGAIN,
0.0225 x .15 = 0.003375
then you finally multiply
0.003375 x 500 = 1.6875

If you want to find 45% of 500 you simply multiply
.45 x 500 = 225

Hope this helps!

A bacteria culture grows with constant relative growth rate. The bacteria count was 1,920 after 4 hours and 1,966,080 after 12 h

attashe74 [19]

From the calculation, the growth rate is 0.88.

<h3>What is the growth rate?</h3>

To find the relative growth rate

P1 = Poe^rt

P2 = Poe^rt

Thus;

1920 = Poe^4r ------ (1)

1966080 =Poe^12r -------(2)

P2/P1 gives;

1966080/1920 = Poe^12r/Poe^4r

1024 = e^12r/e^4r

1024 =e^8r

1024 = (e^r)^8

2^10 = (e^r)^8

e^r = 2^1.25

e^r = 2.38

r = ln(2.38)

r = 0.88

The initial size of the culture is;

1920 = Poe^(0.88 * 4)

Po = 1920/e^(0.88 * 4)

Po = 57

The expression for the exact number of bacteria after t hours is

P(t) = 57e^0.08t

The growth (in bacteria per hour) after 9.5 hours is

P(t) = 57e^(0.88 * 9.5)

P(t) = 243544

For the number to reach 72,000;

72,000 = 57e^0.88t

72,000/57 = e^0.88t

ln 126 = ln[e^0.88t]

4.8 = 0.88t

t = 4.8/0.88

t = 5.5 hours

18 is 75 percent of what number

dimulka [17.4K]

18 is 75% of x.

$75\%= \frac{75}{100}=\frac{3 \times 25}{4 \times 25}=\frac{3}{4} \\ \\
\frac{3}{4}x=18 \\
x=18 \times \frac{4}{3} \\
x=6 \times 4\\
x=24
$

18 is 75% of 24.
